Coil spring snapped, now what?

[koos]

Was sitting in the lounge the other night and was disturbed by a rather loud bang followed by the beemers alrm going off. I ran outside in the hope of finding the little shit trying to break into it but alas, couldnt find a thing, drove it today with a clank at the rear. Jacked it up now and the L/R spring has broken.

Do I spend Ԛ£50 odd from GSF for a pair of rear springs or do I buy the H&R 35mm drop off of the zone? I like a drop but I dont want to loose the practicality of the standard ones, speed bumps etc. HELP

PS How long does shipment take if I buy off of the zone shop?

buy the H&R's there will no problems with speed humps or driving 5 up and rubbing wheels

it's the sensible lowerers choice!

Okay gonna go for the 35mm drop springs and a pair of new front shocks, 1 is leaking, MOT in 4 months and they will be out.

How long is postage from the zone shop??

europerformance.co.uk is where i bought mine for a few quid cheaper, was at my house in 2-3days

Though only Mondeos broke springs while they were parked.
Was spring rusty?

Changed it tonight at work got 2 std ones from GSF, bastards sent me 2 different ones, replaced the one and gonna do the other tomorrow night, car feels good now, did some work on it, distributer cap, which was fucked centre pin was gone, blue temp sensor, made a tool for it, works well if anyone wants to borrow it, set valves, oil change, handbrake. Ready for the weekend, woohoo

Zone Shop is next day delivery on H&R 35mm Springs.

Europerformance is actually more expensive than the Zone shop.
